Donghae woke up the next day at around noon when the sun shone through the window curtains. He let out a small groan and stretched his arms up above his head as well as his legs. He sighed and lay in bed for a while. Yesterday was quite a day. So many things had happened, but he was glad they did. He got closer to Eunhyuk, in a way, from those events. Sitting up, he smiled to himself. He was planning on spending the whole day with Eunhyuk that day. They could go out and look for things to do. Maybe they could go to an amusement park or something of the sort.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Donghae blinked a few times as he heard the sounds of the beeps. He asked himself what it was before he realized it was his cell phone. He either got a text message or a voicemail. He reached over to the bedside table and picked the cell phone up. He flipped his phone open and checked what it was that he got.
On the screen of the phone displayed a box that said '1 new text message'. He clicked on the button that would view the message and squinted his eyes a bit to read the tiny print. It was from Kyon. The text read:
"Hey Donghae. Sorry I bailed out on going hiking with you guys yesterday. How about we go out for a drink as my apology? It'll be my treat. Text me back if you're up for it."
Donghae stared at the message for a little bit before he shut his phone without replying to the text. He didn't know what the answer should be. He didn't plan on replying to that text until he was certain of what he wanted his answer to be.
He wanted to spend the day with Eunhyuk that day… not Kyon. He didn't even know Kyon. Why was she offering to pay for a drink anyway? It wasn't like she really did anything to upset Donghae… Well, she should have apologized for acting as if she knew Eunhyuk, not for not going hiking with them. He wasn't going to tell her that though. He wasn't sure what to tell her exactly. But he just didn't really want to go out with her that day. He wanted to hang out with his best friend, Eunhyuk.
Flipping his phone open again, he opened the text message and pressed the reply button. He started with "I don't wan—" He deleted the words and sighed. If he was going to reject an offer, the least he could do was be polite about it. After deleting those words, he typed what he wanted to say.
"Sorry, Kyon. But I don't think I can go today. Maybe next time."
Once he was sure that was what he wanted to say to her, he sent the text to her. He put on an accomplished smile before he got out of bed and went to the bathroom. He brushed his teeth and took a nice shower before getting dressed in a pair of jeans and a light blue button-up shirt with a white undershirt.
After he was done getting ready, he walked out of his room and proceeded to make his way to Eunhyuk's room. He didn't bother knocking and just opened the door. "Hyukkie!!!" he exclaimed, jumping on the male's bed. "Get up! Get up!"
Eunhyuk was still asleep. He was still tired and wanted to sleep for a few more hours. "Five more days…." He groaned, meaning to say minutes but the word 'days' just kind of slipped from his mouth.
"I doubt you can sleep for five days straight…" Donghae stated, amused with Eunhyuk's sleepy state. He continued jumping on the male's bed, pulling his blanket off. "Come on! Wake up! You're taking me to the amusement park~!"
"When did I say that?" he groaned.
"You never did, but I did~" Donghae grinned and pulled Eunhyuk up so the male was now sitting. "Wakey wakey!"
Sighing, Eunhyuk gave up and got out of bed. "Okay, okay. Fine…" He scratched his head and sighed once more.
"Go shower and…stuff. I'll make us some breakfast~" Donghae was excited yet again. He had already forgotten about Kyon's invitation for a drink. She was completely out of his mind at the moment. Though, as he walked toward the kitchen, his phone beeped again. Pulling his cell phone out of his pocket, he checked what it was this time. It was another text message.
He was afraid to check what the text message said, but he knew for sure that it was from Kyon. Staring at the screen of his phone that had the box saying '1 new message', he pondered on whether or not he should open it and read it.
Deciding he would read it some time later, he flipped his phone closed and looked through the refrigerator to see what there was to cook for breakfast. He figured eggs would be good enough for breakfast so he took a few eggs out from the fridge.
Eunhyuk came out from his room after his shower. He was dressed in a pair of cargo shorts and a white t-shirt with black patterns on it. He walked over to the kitchen table and sat down. "Why are we going to the amusement park?" he asked.
"Because I want to go on the roller coasters and hang out with my bestest friend ever," Donghae replied cutely as he scrambled the eggs. "Is that such a bad thing?"
"It's not bad at all," Eunhyuk stated smiling. He was glad Donghae wanted to hang out with him. That made him feel extremely happy. "Then it'll be my treat. I'll pay for the tickets."
"No no no! I am the one who is inviting, so I want to be the one who pays!" Donghae exclaimed, splitting the scrambled eggs into two plates. One for him and one for Eunhyuk.
"But you already paid for the groceries yesterday. So too bad! I'm paying!" Eunhyuk stated, taking the plate Donghae had handed to him.
Donghae sighed in defeat. "Fine then…" He sat down at the table in front of Eunhyuk. He saw the grin of satisfactory on the other male's face and smiled to himself.
He was slowly realizing and accepting the fact that he liked Eunhyuk. He wasn't afraid to admit that to himself anymore, but he was kind of afraid of what Eunhyuk was going to think if he told him that he liked him more than a friend. He still wasn't sure whether Eunhyuk liked him or not. It kind of seemed like the other male really did like him, but he was definitely unsure about this whole situation. He wished he could just have a way to read Eunhyuk's mind to see what the male was thinking about him. That would be cool.
"Hae!" Eunhyuk exclaimed, waving a hand back and forth in front of Donghae's face. "Haeeee~ you're spacing out again…." He raised a brow and looked at his friend.
Donghae snapped back into reality and looked at Eunhyuk. "Oh. Sorry," he said, chuckling a bit as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. Hopefully he didn't say any of his thoughts out loud. That would be really embarrassing.
"Well, I'm done eating," Eunhyuk said, putting his empty plate in the sink before he started to wash it. "When you're done give me the plate so I can wash it." Since Donghae was the one who cooked, he figured he would do a nice thing and wash the dishes. It wouldn't be fair if Donghae did everything.
After Donghae finished his scrambled eggs, he brought the plate over and let Eunhyuk washed it. He took the chance to read his text message while Eunhyuk was busy with the dishes. The text read:
"Okay then. Until next time then, I guess."
There wasn't much he could say to a text like that. So he didn't bother to reply to it. He closed his cell phone and put it in his jean's pocket. He waited patiently for Eunhyuk to finish washing the dishes.
"Are we gonna go with just us two or are the other guys coming too?" Eunhyuk asked.
"We're going alone ~ !" Donghae exclaimed happily. "I don't even know where the other guys are…"
Eunhyuk chuckled softly at Donghae's excitedness. Well, he was really glad Donghae wanted to go together alone without anyone else's interruption. They'd finally have some best-friend-hangout time. "Okay then! Well, ready to go my dear best friend?" he asked, grinning.
"OF COURSE!" Donghae grabbed his wallet from the kitchen counter as well as the car keys and dragged Eunhyuk out the front door. "You're driving!"
Eunhyuk laughed as he was suddenly pulled out of the house and deemed as the driver. "Alright! But don't blame me if we end up crashing!"
The two friends made it to their car and joked around on the car ride, making strange comments about each other that ended up making both laugh happily. It was a typical day for Donghae and Eunhyuk...fooling around and joking around about each other in weird ways.
